Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for absolute beginners and casual riders, including those with only a moped or scooter license.
PurposeDesigned purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands around town, not for any real distance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low-slung, so it's easy to manage for smaller or less physically strong riders and easy to park or maneuver.
CharacterA nimble, sporty-styled 50cc city scooter that feels quick and flickable at low urban speeds thanks to its light weight, even though outright performance is minimal.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real power or speed.

2008 Italjet Formula 50 Liquid Cooled Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 Italjet Formula 50 Liquid Cooled, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
